"Today's Northern Huns are almost breathing their last breath, and they will not take action easily. After all, they still want to restore the glory of the Huns' royal court, so they have been silent for such a long time, even temporarily condescending to

Kang Juguo can rest and recuperate." Yang Xiu said.

"What Kang Juguo wanted was the deterrence of the Northern Xiongnu, so they accepted it. They also achieved their goal, and broke away from the control of Kushan with the help of the Northern Xiongnu's power. Both sides can be said to get what they need.

"

It may seem surprising that Kang Juguo and Dawan left Kushan, but the reasons behind it are reasonable.

The Northern Xiongnu had been chased and beaten by the Han for so many years. Now they were extremely weak and wanted to find a place to stay. Naturally, they did not consider the area around the Han. They could only go all the way west and stop at the border between the Western Region and Kushan.

However, with the current strength of the Northern Xiongnu, there was no guarantee that they could overthrow Guishang, a younger brother who had been ravaged by him at will, so he could only temporarily live in Kangju to survive.

The king of Kangju also wanted to get rid of Kushan's control, so the two sides naturally hit it off.

Although Guishuang hates this with itch. But firstly, Guishuang is currently in internal turmoil, with constant conflicts between various forces, and it is impossible to reach a consensus to send troops. Secondly, Kangju and Dawan are relatively remote, which makes it difficult for them to reach a consensus.

It is not worth starting a war with the Northern Huns.

Although there are only 300,000 tribesmen left in the Northern Xiongnu, with the help of Kang Juguo and the geographical advantage, Guishang cannot easily take it. If they are really cornered, they can attack Guishang directly, and everyone will be destroyed. It is estimated that most of Guishang will be defeated.

They all have to be killed.

Never doubt the fighting power of the Northern Huns. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. The fall of Rome in history is a bloody lesson.

Various reasons eventually led to Kangju and Dawan's bold independence, but no war broke out. Guishang seemed not to have seen it, and only sent people to reprimand to save face, and both parties lived in peace.

The king of Kangju State was also a shrewd man, and he accepted what was good for him. He did not make any public announcements or provoke Kushan. On the contrary, he was still trying to repair relations with Kushan.

"The king of Kangju State is not an easy man." Fazheng said solemnly: "Just after he became independent from Kushan, he has already begun to plot against the Northern Huns. According to the news we have received, they have begun to secretly contact Kushan to prepare

We have driven away the Northern Huns, and this method of manipulation is extraordinary!"

Xu Shu saw Yang Xiu with a clear look and Fazheng with a solemn look, and suddenly felt hurt. He was the only one who knew nothing about feelings, but the two people in front of him knew the situation in the Western Regions very clearly!

It has not been long since Yuan Shu took possession of Liangzhou. The corresponding intelligence organization has not yet been completed, and he does not know much about the situation in the Western Regions. However, both the Fa family where Fazheng is located and the Yang family where Yang Xiu is located are local snakes.

ah!

Liangzhou is basically their base camp, and the Western Regions are like their back garden. After all, the Silk Road in the Western Regions is their main source of wealth. Otherwise, how could they support such a huge business relying solely on the barren land of Liangzhou?

Family business?

In the past, they just did not focus on the Western Regions. Now that Yuan Shu's strategy was determined, they naturally used their respective advantages to expand and extend intelligence channels.

Who can be as proficient as the Han people when it comes to conspiracy and tricks? Harem battles, power struggles, royal disputes, and factional differences. The history of the Han people is full of intrigues, which has brought the art of language and internal fighting to the extreme. And the aristocratic family is exactly like this.

The best among them, how can they easily deal with this group of "simple" little white rabbits in the Western Regions? They have easily used commercial networks to extend an intelligence network densely covering various countries in the Western Regions.

Naturally, such a large and eye-catching target of the Northern Huns was easily noticed by them, and even Kangju and Dawan were under strict surveillance.

"Kang Juguo is currently in a strangely peaceful state. Once we intervene, the balance between the three parties will inevitably be broken. This is what I am most worried about." Fa Zheng said in a deep voice: "If it is not handled well and causes the three parties to attack together, our

The situation is difficult.”

"Among these three parties, the Xiongnu and we are mortal enemies, so we can only make a fuss about Guishang and Kangju."

Yang Xiu frowned slightly and said: "If we really attack the Xiongnu, Guishang will probably sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, but in the end they will probably want to reap the benefits. And Kang Juguo will probably not be happy. The current Xiongnu

But they rely on their most important thugs. They just split from Kushan and they cannot afford to lose such a powerful ally."

"What's there to be afraid of? It's just a small country, it can be destroyed with a snap of the finger." Xu Shu said disdainfully.

He also knew very well what the countries in the Western Region were like. Back then, Marquis Dingyuan was able to suppress the countries in the Western Region with just a few hundred men. The combat power of these countries was not even that of a small prince, so there was no need to worry about it.

"Having said that, we are fighting from a distance after all. If Ankang does not provide convenience for our army, it may be more difficult to fight against the Huns. The Huns were defeated, but with the help of Ankang, a local snake, it will be very difficult.

Difficult to deal with." Fa Zhengdao.

"Why do we have to confront the Xiongnu? Isn't it good to use the excuse of pursuing Xianbei to gain a foothold in the Western Regions first?" Xu Shu said.

"We have to prepare for the worst. The Northern Huns have just escaped the pursuit of our Han people in the past few decades, and we don't know what the situation is now. Our attack on the Western Region will definitely cause a reaction from them. If they are lucky, they will stay put for the time being or continue

Fleeing west will have no impact on us. But if it really arouses the anger of the Northern Huns and makes them mistakenly think that we are going to continue to pursue them, I am afraid they will jump over the wall and fight to the death with us." Fazheng sighed lightly.

"Given the bloody feud between the northern Xiongnu and us, it is impossible not to react. Either continue to flee westward or resist desperately, one of the two. After all, no one will believe or believe that we went to war just for a mere Xianbei."

The tradition of the Han Dynasty will beat you until you surrender. But as long as you don't keep jumping, you won't chase him to the end like you did with the Xiongnu. As long as you run far away, the big man will be out of sight and out of mind.

The Han Dynasty has always had a laissez-faire attitude towards the Western Regions and has never been too lazy to care. Except for the period of fighting with the Xiongnu, they basically ignored this remote area. Now they suddenly take action, if it is not for the Xiongnu or Kushan, who will?

Where is the letter?

"Then what should we do?" Xu Shu asked.
